Happy Birthday Gracie ~ Now 9 Years Old
You wake my senses with love and charm
as you caress my sleeping
form
that brings me from a
deep slumber
you wake me to light of
an early morn
Sleepy eyed I look at
you
excitement stirs in
your heart
knowing I am now awake
brightens your kitty play to start
Each morning you come
to me
paw touches my closed eye
or cheek
some days you lean
against my side
you find your own safe
place to sleep
And, some morns I wake
up on my own
I wonder if you forgot
me that day
how silly am I for
there you come
you hear me stir as I
get up on my way -
my Gracie
